The devotion that Jesus taught us

The devotion that Jesus taught us. In the Gospel of Luke 11: 1-4, Jesus teaches the Lord's Prayer to his disciples when one of them asks: "Lord, teach us to pray." Almost all Christians have come to know and even memorize this prayer.

The Lord's prayer is called the Our Father by Catholics. It is one of the prayers most commonly prayed by people of all Christian faiths in both public and private worship.

The Lord's prayer in the Bible

"This, then, is how you should pray:
"'Our Father in heaven, be it
hallowed your name, come on
your kingdom,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive our debts,
for we have also forgiven our debtors.
And don't lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from the wicked. "
Because if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you too. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

The devotion that Jesus taught us: Jesus teaches the model for prayer

With the Lord's prayer, Jesus Christ gave us a pattern or model for prayer. He was teaching his disciples how to pray. There is nothing magical about words. Prayer is not a formula. We don't have to pray the lines literally. Rather, we can use this prayer to inform us, teaching us how to face God in prayer.

The Lord's prayer is the model of prayer that Jesus taught his followers.
There are two versions of the prayer in the Bible: Matthew 6: 9-15 and Luke 11: 1-4.
Matthew's version is part of the Sermon on the Mount.
Luke's version is in response to a disciple's request to teach them to pray.
The Lord's prayer is also called Our Father by Catholics.
Prayer is meant for the community, the Christian family.
Here is a simplified explanation of each section to help you develop a thorough understanding of The Devotion Jesus Taught Us, the Lord's Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven
Let us pray to God our Father who is in heaven. He is our Father and we are his humble children. We have a close connection. As a heavenly and perfect Father, we can trust that he loves us and will listen to our prayers. The use of "ours" reminds us that we (his followers) are all part of the same family of God.

Hallowed be your name
Sanctified means "to make holy". We recognize the holiness of our Father when we pray. He is close and caring, but he is not our friend or equal. He is Almighty God. We do not approach him with a sense of panic and misfortune, but with reverence for his holiness, recognizing his justice and perfection. We are amazed that even in his holiness we belong to him.

Your kingdom comes, your will will be done, on Earth as in heaven
Let us pray for the sovereign domination of God in our life and on this earth. He is our king. We recognize that he has full control and submit to his authority. Going further, we want the Kingdom of God and the rule to be extended to others in our surrounding world. We pray for the salvation of souls because we know that God wants all men to be saved.

give us today our daily bread
When we pray, we trust God to satisfy our needs. He will take care of us. At the same time, we are not worried about the future. We depend on God our Father to provide what we need today. Tomorrow we will renew our addiction by coming to him again in prayer.

Forgive our debts, just as we also forgive our debtors
We ask God to forgive our sins when we pray. We search in our hearts, recognize that we need his forgiveness and confess our sins. Just as our Father kindly forgives us, we must forgive each other's shortcomings. If we wish to be forgiven, we must grant the same forgiveness to others.

Lead us not in temptation, but deliver us from the wicked
We need God's strength to resist temptation. We must be in tune with the guidance of the Holy Spirit to avoid anything that tempts us to sin. We pray every day for God to free us from Satan's cunning traps so that we will know when to run away. You also discover a new devotion to Jesus.

The Lord's Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer (1928)
Our Father, who art in heaven, be it
sanctified your name.
Come your kingdom.
Thy will be done,
as in heaven so on earth.
Give us today our daily bread .
And forgive us our transgressions,
while we forgive those who transgress you.
And don't lead us into temptation,
but free us from evil.
Because yours is the kingdom,
and power
and glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.
